Daming pirates

But if you think about it carefully, Liu BuTong also said that if he did this, he could ensure that the North Gate would not be lost. Outside the North Gate was Xishan Village. He wanted his people to stay at the North Gate. This was also reasonable. At this moment

The most important thing is to bring his people to the city to help defend. As long as this can be achieved, and Liu BuTong dares to say that the north gate will not be lost, then he can only grit his teeth and agree first.

So he nodded and said: "Although this is a bit difficult, we, sir, must be sensible people and should be able to agree to Liu Yuanwai's condition! Okay, that's it! I don't know if Liu Yuanwai has any other requests!"

Liu BuTong nodded and said: "I'll leave this to Brother Qian! I will explain it clearly to the generals sent there. After entering the city, they must do what I say. Otherwise, I would rather he bring people back than be separated."

Arrange it separately! This is very important. I hope Brother Qian will ask Mr. Zhao for your understanding. As long as this is done, Liu can guarantee that as long as the other city gates are fine, the North Gate will be safe!

The second item is that I, Ding Xiangyong, my servants, have some bird guns that Liu bought privately from the south. This is a bit taboo, but I hope Mr. Zhao will not embarrass me. Liu spent a lot of money to buy these bird guns.

This is the foundation for Liu to establish his business here. Please don’t confiscate it by force, otherwise... Brother Qian should know the consequences!"

"Oh? That's a good thing! It is said that the muskets produced by the Folangji people are quite sharp. I didn't expect Liu Yuanwai to be willing to spend a lot of money to buy these muskets! In this case, it is a great thing for the defenders of the city.

!Please rest assured Liu Yuanwai, I, Qian, can answer these blunderbuss on your behalf, and we adults will never force you to ask for them! They can be used by Liu Yuanwai’s servants themselves!"

Inspector Qian was a little surprised when he heard this, but he was very happy. If there were more Folangji people's guns in the city, then the city would be more secure. Since Liu Buong bought these guns with a lot of money, he would be more confident.

So even if others are jealous, they don't dare to take it by force now. Otherwise, if the rebels don't take down the city, but the city rebels first, then it will be a big trouble. What's more important now?

No matter what, he and Zhao Zhizhou should still be able to see clearly. No wonder Liu Buong dared to pat his chest and guarantee that his people can guard the north gate. It turns out that he has these blunderbuss to rely on!

"Third! Liu also knows that the city is full of money-using places. Regarding the reward of money, Liu has no special requirements! But Liu wants to mention one thing, that is, I, the servants, all use money.

Those piled up, everyone usually eats well and is full before they are willing to work hard. I hope that after they enter the city, the city can provide them with sufficient food, at least some meat! Otherwise, they will not be full.

Helping guys will not work hard! I hope Brother Qian can be more tolerant! Please, Mr. Zhao, try your best to meet their requirements!

As for other things, let’s not talk about it. It is our duty as gentry to help the government defend the city. Even if we defend the city, we don’t dare to ask for any additional reward from you, as long as we can pay according to the reward previously offered.

, it’s enough to just follow the instructions when the time comes!

In addition, Liu also wants to say something ugly to the front. My people are guarding the north gate. The north gate can be protected. But if other gates are damaged, then please forgive Liu for wanting to say something ugly to the front. My people can't.

They are helplessly trapped in the city. If something goes wrong elsewhere, they must open the north gate and escape back to me!"

After listening to this, Inspector Qian felt a little disapproving. He thought that Liu BuTong's subordinates were really arrogant. They actually wanted to eat well and be full when they arrived in the city. After all, so many people were there to help the government.

, if you can’t even feed them well, then I’m afraid you can’t expect them to work hard.

As for what Liu Tong said later, although he didn't like it, it was reasonable and reasonable. They had ensured that the North Gate would not be lost. If other places were attacked by the rebels, then don't count on these people.

They are fighting to the death in the city and will not retreat. When the time comes, they will flee back to Xishan Village, and no one will be able to stop them.

After hearing this, the Qian inspector immediately agreed readily.

Although the rebels were only more than thirty miles away from Muping County when they were discovered, this group of rebels was not the elite of the rebels after all. In addition, they also coerced many civilians to help them fight, so

The rebels were moving very slowly.

Along the way, the rebels continued to send small groups of soldiers and horses along both sides of the road to continuously attack and loot nearby villages. In addition, there was ice and snow on the road, making the road difficult to travel. They dragged two more cannons.

Of course, it's not the kind of Hongyi cannon that weighs two or three thousand kilograms, just two ordinary big guns weighing seven to eight hundred kilograms. Even so, dragging these two cannons gives them a headache.

Although the rebels' cannons are not too heavy, their cannons are not equipped with lightweight large-diameter wheel mounts. Moreover, these two cannons are obviously city defense cannons, which are mainly used for firing on city walls. Therefore,

The gun mount was made of heavy wood, with four small pulleys installed at the four corners. Marching on such terrain would be a disaster.

It's not that they want to capture refugees everywhere to help in the war. Just carrying two cannons on this road consumes a lot of manpower. Dozens or even hundreds of people are waiting in front and behind a cannon before it can slowly roll forward. If the cannon is not careful,

It will also capsize. The rebel soldiers and generals yelled and cursed along the way, waving their whips and whipping the people who were captured to haul the artillery for them. If they slacked off or were lazy, the rebel soldiers and generals would

Just raise your sword and kill, at least dozens of people have been killed along the way.

Anyway, human life is nothing in the eyes of these rebels. Moreover, they hate Shandong people deeply and do not regard these ordinary people as human beings. Therefore, they have no mercy in killing these civilians.

As a result, they walked as slowly as a snail. At the end of the day, they walked less than fifteen miles and rested more than ten miles west of Muping County.

This made the Mouping County defenders, who had been nervous all day, and the officials and citizens in the city breathe a sigh of relief. At least they got through it today, but everyone was not relaxed in their hearts. They always felt like there was still something hanging over their heads.

A knife, but this knife fell a little late.

The Sea Wolf tribe that came to Muping County this time to assist the defense was led by an army second lieutenant named Li San (guest star by book friend Xiao Li Feiyan). Li San was very young, just in his early twenties. He was also a Shandong native. In his early years,

He left home and fled south with his father, living in the Fujian area, making a living by doing day labor.

But later, his father died of illness, and the family lost their ability to live. They had no choice but to make a living by begging. Later, the family members died one by one, leaving only Li San wandering around. During the days of begging, Li San

San learned a lot about survival, and also learned how to be ruthless.

But after all, he was not very old, and his body was very weak because he had been hungry for a long time. Four years ago, he was bitten by a dog. As a result, the wound on his leg suppurated and he started to have a high fever. He fell to the side of the road and waited for death.

When he boarded Sea Wolf, a caravan passing by picked him up, saved his life, and brought him to Tamsui City for resettlement.

After Li San recovered from his injury, he was not disabled, except for a big scar on his leg. After receiving good care and adequate nutrition, his physical condition improved greatly. After learning literacy in the school, he was selected

He joined the army and due to his outstanding performance, he was quickly promoted to a trainee officer.

Later, Li San also participated in many battles with the army. He performed quite well. He dared to fight and kill. He was also smart and had many clever ideas. He was soon promoted to a second lieutenant officer, and then to a lieutenant officer. However, this guy had some bad habits.

Sometimes he likes to beat people, and he is somewhat lustful. Because he made some mistakes, he was later demoted to second lieutenant, but he continued to hold the rank of second lieutenant and acted as company commander.

This time for the northward movement, because Li San was originally from Shandong and could speak Shandong dialect, he was selected and sent to garrison in Shidao Bay to lead an infantry company.

Most of the soldiers who went north this time were from Shandong. Although not all of them were from northern Shandong and their accents were messy, after all, they all had Shandong accents, so it was not too suspicious.

Although these soldiers were not affiliated with the same company before, they had all received professional military training from the Seawolf Army system. After being transferred and reorganized, they quickly integrated together, and their combat effectiveness did not decrease due to the re-joining.

.

In addition, everyone is from Shandong, so they instinctively feel some closeness. On the contrary, after a short period of running-in, they quickly formed a stronger combat effectiveness, and there was a kind of brotherhood between them, which made their cohesion stronger than

It was even stronger in the past.

This time Liu BuTong and Wu Shengtian sent people to Mouping County to assist in the defense, so they sent Li San to the county. Li San was overall responsible for leading three infantry platoons and a township brave platoon, a total of 200 people, and he was assigned additional troops.

A strengthened artillery squad, carrying a twelve-pound mountain howitzer, went to the county town to assist in the defense. It was not a fully formed company.

Although sending so many elite soldiers to the county seat, carrying so many muskets and a cannon, was too ostentatious and arrogant, but at this time, in order to prevent the Sea Wolf soldiers from paying a unnecessary price, Liu BuTong did not care.

So much.

Sure enough, when Li San appeared at the north gate of the county with more than 200 people and a small red cannon, he immediately caused an uproar.

Many people looked at this neat-looking "rural soldiers" and the "guns" they were carrying and the cannon they were dragging, and they were suddenly a little confused. They had seen such a luxuriously equipped lineup there!

Even the local official army has never had such sophisticated equipment, but Liu Dashan, who just arrived, actually has so many local warriors who look incomparably strong. I don’t know where they got so many.

Guns and even cannons were brought.

(Today I would like to express my special thanks to Brother Ying Zhiwu for the reward!)
